Looking at the previous exit polls about Gujarat

Ahmedabad: As the Gujarat election 2017 was contested with completely a new background, very few were sure about what would be the results. So even after all pre-poll surveys and exit polls have declared BJP as clear winner, discussions on Whatsspp groups and other social media platforms are still on about possible outcome of the election on December 18, when counting will take place. Lot of people are still confused about the results because this election at least on the surface and on social media and conventional media platforms was looking like a close fight. Most who predicted clear victory for one party had mixed their own wish to their prediction. Some made prediction based on pre-poll surveys and exit poll result. Some were believers of ground reports or the information catered over social media and conventional media platforms. The question is still doing rounds that who will win? If BJP wins, it will win with how many seats? Though BJP had made target of 150 seats, the insiders on telephone talk conveyed that party is hoping for 115 to 120 seats after polling is over. State Congress president Bharatsinh Solanki in informal talk says he is hopeful for 100 seats around for Congress. One question meanwhile being asked is whether the exit polls are true? Well, they have been wrong in the past and near the right mark too as well. Presented here is the graphic of previous exit polls in Gujarat in last three elections.
